well honestly the aorus is slightly more expensive - the biggest difference is the weight. The aorus is marketed as a slim laptop and is not made to be "the ultimate gaming laptop". But the aorus is found for just over 2k, and yet the xoticpc force laptop is only $1650.
a gtx 780M is 3% worse than the 765M SLI in performance, but much less heat.
If it were me, I would decide on the full features - do I want it to be slim or can it be a monster, do I want it to look like "X", or is spec all that matters. what size etc. before I made a decision.
